“…The five systems most commonly described in the literature for growing leafy vegetables include the NFT, DWC, flood and drain, continuous drip [36], and the wick method [37]. Aeroponics, where roots are sprayed with a nutrient solution rather than submerged, can also be used for leafy vegetables.…”

Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) is a growing industry for the production of leafy vegetables and fresh produce in general. Moreover, CEA is a potentially desirable alternative production system, as well as a risk management solution for the food safety challenges within the fresh produce industry. Here, we will focus on hydroponic leafy vegetable production (including lettuce, spinach, microgreens, and herbs), which can be categorized into six types: (1) nutrient film technique (NFT), (2) deep water raft culture (DWC), (3) flood and drain, (4) continuous drip systems, (5) the wick method, and (6) aeroponics. The first five are the most commonly used in the production of leafy vegetables. Each of these systems may confer different risks and advantages in the production of leafy vegetables. This review aims to (i) address the differences in current hydroponic system designs with respect to human pathogen internalization risk, and (ii) identify the preventive control points for reducing risks related to pathogen contamination in leafy greens and related fresh produce products.

“…Sistem Wick merupakan sistem hidroponik yang memanfaatkan sumbu untuk menarik nutrisi. Kelebihan hidroponik Sistem Wick adalah larutan nutrisinya dapat tersirkulasi, volume larutan hara yang dibutuhkan lebih rendah, sirkulasi mencegah lumut, bersih dan mudah dikontrol, tanaman tumbuh dengan optimal, umur panen menjadi lebih singkat dan penggunaan nutrisi yang efisien (Ferrarezi et al, 2016). Untuk meminimalisir biaya produksi dapat diatasi dengan inovasi larutan hara dari sampah buangan rumah tangga menjadi pupuk cair.…”

Teknologi hidroponik sistem wick adalah salah satu inovasi budidaya sayur-mayur tanpa tanah dengan inovasi pemanfaataan barang bekas dan sampah rumah tangga seperti styrofoam dan kaleng bekas sebagai wadah penanaman. Tujuan kegiatan ini adalah untuk mengurangi sampah di lingkungan masyarakat, meningkatkan kemampuan ekonomi keluarga, dan minat masyarakat mengkonsumsi sayuran yang bersih dan higienis di Desa Kualu Kecamatan Tambang Kabupaten Kampar. Teknik hidroponik ini terbuat dari bahan relatif murah dan terjangkau, sehingga keterbatasan kemampuan finansial masyarakat dapat teratasi. Sistem ini merupakan sistem hidroponik yang menggunakan sumbu untuk menyerap nutrisi organik. Untuk meminimalisir biaya pembelian nutrisi dapat diatasi dengan inovasi larutan hara dari sampah buangan rumah tangga menjadi pupuk cair. Pelaksanaan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini menggunakan metode penyuluhan, diskusi dan pembuatan teknologi hidroponik. Masyarakat sangat antusias mengikuti program ini, terutama ibu rumah tangga yang ingin mengetahui pengaplikasian teknologi hidroponik Sistem Wick, sehingga dapat berperan besar dalam memenuhi kebutuhan pangan dan meningkatkan pendapatan masyarakat.

“…In the cited research, substrate water content increased with the increase in wick width or cross-sectional area. Some studies have modified capillary wick systems by combining capillary wick and trough systems, which in turn have two options: nutrient stagnant wick (NSW) or nutrient flow wick systems (NFW) [18,21,22]. The nutrient solution is allowed to circulate on inclined troughs in NFW systems while the solution is stagnant in NSW systems as described by Son et al [21].…”

“…In addition, they reported no runoff from the capillary wick reservoir system and an increase in fertiliser use efficiency due to the reduced water application. Additional benefits that were noted were a reduction in human effort (plant demand automatically governs supply of water) and electrical power consumption (no pumping required) [22]. Research has also compared the two types of combined trough-wick systems, indicating there is a higher potential to develop algae in NSW systems than in NFW systems [21].…”

A Semi-Systematic Review of Capillary Irrigation: The Benefits, Limitations, and Opportunities

Capillary irrigation systems have been investigated for some years as a means to deliver water to plants in container gardening. This review paper identifies that traditional capillary irrigation systems such as capillary wicks, capillary mats, and ebb and flow systems have been shown to produce higher crop yields and use less water than conventional irrigation methods. In addition, capillary irrigation offers an added advantage by reducing the volume of potentially harmful leachate into surrounding soil environments. However, these systems are basically limited to small pot sizes and are widely used for growing ornamental and nursery plants in glasshouse conditions. Further, the cost and complexity of Negative Pressure Difference Irrigation may have limited its practical use. Conversely, wicking beds (WBs) are low-tech and water-efficient systems which can be used for growing plants with different rooting depths. Irrespective of the wide acceptance of WBs among the growing community, this review recognises that there is no published research providing design recommendations for WBs and their expected performance relative to other irrigation systems. Therefore, some potential advantages of WBs are noted in the context of capillary irrigation research; however, a substantial knowledge gap exists relating to the optimised design and use of WBs.
